A front facing copy of the graphic novel Besties: Prank War leaning against a stack of the same book with the spine showing. The cover depicts two tween boys making a plan to prank a classmate by drawing notes and diagrams while surrounded by prank supplies: fake bugs, silly string, ketchup packets, caution tape, skateboard.
